More importantly, would you rather be stung by an irukandji on your foot or have a falcon stoop into the back of your head?

We dedicate another episode to New Zealand, cause why not. Let's try to save the world, one weird mammal bird at a time.

We chat bird things like: Where are Kiwi found? What is the main predator of the kiwi. Is it really a bird, why are the feathers weird? How big are kiwi eggs and what if we had a human baby of that same proportion? Do kiwi use a sense of smell or vision?

We answer stuff like: How many gharial are left in the wild? What is that weird thing on the tip of a gharial's snout? Should I be concerned about being eaten by a gharial? Do they carry their babies in their mouth? How much jewelry is too much jewelry? Is 30 minutes a short or long time to copulate?

6: Falcon Apr 10, 2018

Show notes

This week, we pull back the curtain and EXPOSE the hidden secrets of the Falcon, and answer questions like: What is a bird of prey? Are falcons the Grim Reaper? What the heck is a stoop? Where'd they buy those styling pantaloons? WHY ARE THEY SO FAST? Are birds the only animals that can fly? (Spoiler: lol no) and Why do their sideburns look so good?

Get ready to have your pants blown right off in the wake of this radical bird!
